Logee; Frayne Baker Talks on River Rev. F. E. Logee, the new Presby- terian pastor, had his intorduction to the business and professional men of the city at the Rotary club luncheon at noon, today. The Logee family arrived here Tuesday night and took up their residence at the manse, 216 Avenue B. City Attorney C. L. Young, who is on the church board, brought the new pastor to the lunch- con as his guest. He made a very favorable impression on the club, and when it was learned that he was @ igan, it was proposed to have him succeed to the membership here held by his predecessor, Rev. Paul 8. Wright. Mr. Logee is a former football play- er of Western Reserve university, Cleveland. He is of athletic build, approachable and affable, very much world and is a staunch supporter of work among young men. His family consists of himself, Mrs. Logee and two children, Emerson and Marcia. The feature of the luncheon was Frayne Baker, on the history of the Missouri and its navigation period, and Fargo proposals for diverting some of the flow from the stream enne river and Devils lake. From his knowledge of the river, Colonel Baker is inclined to oppose the proposal.
